#WE DON’T LEARN FROM GOOD THINGS ONLY BUT ALSO FROM BAD THINGS

    Since good things inspire you to do the same and more, at the same time bad things also cause fear in you and through your conscience you will truly abstain from it. We couldn't worry about death if we didn't see human beings and other God’s creatures die; the same way we couldn't love to be righteous if we didn't see, hear or read about the rewards of those who were and are now righteous in the Lord. Having said so, don’t hate those who showed bad examples or did bad things or don’t hate the failures or losers, because in one way or another their cases are for you to know and study right or wrong things, and hence have that understanding on how to turn away from those bad things they did into good and good into best things, you see other things in life once we learn it in hard ways it really became a big lesson; it became better, forms discipline in us and even uplift our faith in Jesus and finally became the standard of living, this is to say that it renews the fear of the Lord our God in us. Therefore in all ways thank God for them for they became our case studies and specimen for us to live in right way which pleases God.

   Sometimes I think how my standard of living could have be or was supposed to be, if there were no examples of people to learn from them and follow if its good what they were doing and abandon if its bad, be it either by reading, seeing or hearing; mind you what we are currently doing is not new at all i.e. there are people caused it to happen by just allowing themselves to be used by it whether written, those we see or those we hear from different documentaries. This is why also Holy Bible was written by mere human beings like you and me with the inspiration of Holy Spirit, so don’t deceive yourself that you made a new thing, that's just chasing after winds as Bible says its really that; there is nothing new under the sun, whatever you are doing there are the people whether good doers or evil doers made a big lesson in you.

   This is also the reason why the Bible says love your enemies with all your heart; those who persecutes you and not only friends, for they are used to sharpen you into righteous way of living. Love all, like the way David loved King Saul or the way Jesus loved Judah Iscariot and the way Jesus loves the church, the way Elisha loved Elijah also, the way genuine Christians love Jesus Christ so as to learn from them and finally be like gold which passed through furnace fire. Be blessed in Jesus Christ name.

#ONLY IF YOU WALK BY FAITH, YOU WILL SURELY LIVE BY FAITH

The bible insists people to walk by faith and not by sight [2 Corinthians 5:7] so, that their Christian life can be based on faith i.e. believing in Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

In the Bible there is a place written several times called Gilgal [Joshua 4:19 – 5:12], a place of practicing faith; Israelites having been able to see many mighty signs, wonders and miracles of God physically in the wilderness, then it reached a time and place where God wanted them to practice their faith in Him; that’s why it was noted that manna ceased at Gilgal which means there at Gilgal was a perfect place at a God's time for Israelites to walk by faith in Jesus for the land to produce food for them, to have clothes, to have shoes so that through the faith in Him they can be able to live the blessed life.

Even Elisha after Elijah was taken away from him to heaven and Elijah's mantle fall on him; it was at that specific time and place where he was then required to walk by faith in God of Elijah the one he used to see performing signs, miracles and wonders from those years he walked with Elijah in order for him to live. [2 kings 2; 2 Kings 4:38]

Also Jesus’s disciples after He ascended to heaven; it was at that specific time they were supposed to practice their faith in Him for them to live, and the day they reached a glorious tone the helper came [Holy Spirit] and they all prospered and experienced supernatural life on earth.

One time TB Joshua said when you run out of robe is the time to grab onto your faith which means there’s always the place and specific time to test your faith in God, because it simple and easy to say I love God and I depend on Him in good times and calls on His name JESUS all the time but when the trouble times come is where divergence come, and that's where you shall be known if you are genuine Christian or not; the question is, are we really believing God even in the time of our troubles? I mean are we really depend only on Him in those trouble times?, because it well known that when seen things we depend on run out some begin calling on their mothers’ names, some their fathers’ names; so in that perspective can we really say we call on the name of the Lord [JESUS] in all times [good times and trouble times]?

The sight cannot grant you life but faith can i.e. that belief in Jesus of Nazareth; this means by sight people see and do but by your faith you became the apple of God's eye for Him to see and do for you in this sense the later is most powerful than the first. It is so glorious in the Lord when you are blind and yet you see by your faith than when you depend on your own eyes and ears to live. This means Jesus redeemed us on the cross, one, for us to know that He is our creator and two, for the very specific purpose that’s why we are still in this world, if it was not for His specific purpose then His redemption on us was meant to take us away from this sinful world because of His love on us. The glory of the Lord Jesus in heaven is also because of the righteous works on earth, therefore it would have mean nothing if He saved us from this corrupt world to heaven. We are to be the light of this world, since the salvation power means the power to save; this then was granted to us on that time when Jesus Christ redeemed us, so as to save others from this world of evils i.e. that Life of God in us should be the Life of all.

It’s also known that anointing of God teaches us all things about Him [1 John 2:27], then if so this is for what? Is it for being rich only, prosperous, peaceful, with Honor, Wise, Blessed or to be powerful [Revelation 5:12]. Are those a core purpose of our salvation? no not at all but to tell others about Him that’s why our names are in His book of Life and this should be the main cause of our joyous celebration [Luke 10:17-20].

Then what do you think the core purpose of the anointing of God in us is? The core purpose of anointing of God is for the glory of God, and the other things as desired by man for sure will follow you in all days of your life as long as that anointing is in you but first write the vision down and then walk by faith and not by sight. Let His Kingdom and His righteousness be part and parcel of your life, Amen.

#BE A WISDOM SEEKER

The one who search for wisdom is advantageous. The Bible in the Proverbs 2:2-13 says; My son, if you will receive my words and treasure my commandments within you, Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice, and He preserves the way of His godly ones. Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity and every good course. or wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will guard you, Understanding will watch over you. To deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things; from those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness.

Lord Jesus help me today to search for wisdom and desire more understanding for it is in you by the power of Holy ghost, let unction of that be in my heart in order for my soul to be free in you, Amen.

#WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THE LORD KEEP DOING THEY WILL SOON UNDERSTAND YOU

It did not begin with you; certainly it will not end with you, they did to Jesus of Nazareth; ignoring Him, contempt Him but later they understood and declared by themselves that Jesus is the Lord. For it was prophesied in Isaiah chapter 53 that; For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. After all prosecutions and stripes to Jesus later they came to know the truth about Jesus and that's why in Matthew 27:54 it is written; "Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God".

This is the same to us who seek Him greatly and daily.

This didn't end with Jesus of Nazareth and Himself clearly said if they did those sort of things to a Master how about the servant. His Apostle Paul encountered it at Melita when the people of that Island thought that Paul was a really murderer; for he was saved from shipwreck and yet again dangerous snake wanted to take his life away, they didn't help him but they were just looking at him expecting his death, after sometime when they realized that he is not dying they declared him as a god while he was just a man with grace of God. As it is written in Acts 28:1-6 that; "And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god."
Therefore, since it did not begin with you; it will definitely not end with you, what you are doing in the Lord keep doing it they will soon change their minds and understand you. Though it's not easy, you need to catch more fire until all the truth revealed by the power of Holy ghost, Amen.

#EVER SINCE THAT SIN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, A MAN IS NO LONGER A FREE SOUL

On this earth which we are living; there are yokes, bondages, ties, burdens, oppressions, repressions, suppressions, tyranny and authoritarians. A man created by God is no longer a free soul for he lost that right of having freewill in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3 that’s why there is judgement day. The devil tricked a man on that right and that right was taken away and that was a fall of man, so then man is only a free soul under conditions as long as he lives he is under the yokes whether he knows it or not, likes it or not; it can be yokes under God’s kingdom or yokes under Kingdom of darkness. There is always authority above any man which subdues him and it’s beyond his control. This is why the bible says in Ecclesiastes 6:10 that it is well known that man cannot contend/dispute with one, who is stronger than him, everywhere, there is a higher authority than what you have which you can’t contend it than to be submitted to it as the only option. There is always the good fight in spirit which only discerned spiritually on who is superior to the other; and the one with more power control the one with less power. This is indeed you can be relaxed but with yokes and by the matter of fact, not all what you are thinking or doing all the time is by your free will, no! but the power which subdues you controls you; your mind, thinking, actions, etc all are held under the captivity of that power. That’s why also the bible says from the days of John the Baptist till now the Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent people which means those men with authority and power take it by force (Matthew 11:12) so, it is no longer a free soul with a freewill; it means if you are not powerful those with power than you controls you whether you like it or not. Therefore the yokes will always be there as long as you are on this earth, the difference is that others will put yokes on you harshly and yokes which are tough as long as you have less power and other will put yokes on you humbly and that which is easy because of loving heart, others will lay on you heavy burdens and other light burden. Only Jesus of Nazareth keeps the promise by His saying that "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light"(Matthew 11:29-30). Therefore there is no way you will be free on this earth until you encounter Jesus as the Lord in your life, the yokes in Him its simply to bind you in Him so that the world cannot win over you because the nature of the world is sin and sin means those bondages and yokes from the kingdom of darkness.

 But if you say you live your life and not of Christ don’t deceive yourself that you are a free soul no, not at all you are under yokes, you see even the top leaders in this world with all the authority granted to them, they are still under bondages what more of you less-powered man. There is no place to hide where you will term yourself a free soul; if you are not in Christ, the world will bind you in many areas of your life. Notice also, the judgement came and its day was already set because the Son of Man [Jesus of Nazareth] had already been revealed in the whole world so, the might power is, until you seek for it with all your heart through Jesus of Nazareth according to the principles of God in the Bible and abide to Him, however note this; it is not mere power or having might power that counts you righteous no! above all is love. Remember! because of His love always God’s grace is sufficient to save all human kind but you have the role to play; seek Him first with all your heart and mind for His yoke is easy and His burden is light, for sure He will not put you to shame but prospering you in every area of your life that is JESUS, Son of Man, Son of God; the mighty God. Be blessed, Amen.
